Poem
ANZAC Few among them knew the name Gallipolli no crystal ball foretold the hell it spawned but in the misty dawn of 25-04-15 the legend of the ANZACs would be born. standing tall in khaki pride he held his wife and newborn son don’t worry love be back real soon we’re gonna make them jerries run the women waved tear streaked farewells from wharves as troop ships steamed away and crossed horizons far from home to face the trials of unknown day excitement written in their smiles proud and brave and some so young they sang ‘Australia Will be There’ and to the winds their voices flung no notion no suspicion of the fate their journey faced as on that fear filled morning into fiery hell they paced and in that violent misty dawn sixteen thousand heroic hearts stormed a friendless beachfront for king and country do their part their bravery knew no backward step as lacking grit to see it through would be to turn their back on mates and no such thought would they pursue for eight long mud and blood filled months they dug their trenches fought their fight and dreamt sweet dreams of those at home morning noon and haunted night the mettle of each beating heart for eight long months was tested too many souls would not return by the time the guns were rested so far beyond imaginings that nightmare task was set sixty thousand heroes “Lest We Forget’ Few among them knew the name Gallipolli no crystal ball foretold the hell it spawned but in the misty dawn of 25-04-15 the legend of the ANZACs would be born.
